Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Women with vaginismus often have difficulty accommodating a vaginal speculum. It would be best for the nurse to obtain smaller-than-normal vaginal speculums to facilitate the examination while minimizing discomfort for the patient. The other options are not necessary for the examination of vaginismus.
